Right now you need to work on that shading. Light bounces off objects into our eyes. Where there is no to little light hitting an object, there is a shadow. See how light interacts with objects, and try to incorporate light and shadow into your work.

Also, it's generally better to not reuse the same texture, but recoloured, for different blocks. Right now, I can see at least 3 blocks with the same, recoloured texture. Different materials feel and look different to each other.

Also, avoid completely bucket filling areas, like you did with grass. Grass is made of many tiny leaves. It's not entirely flat. Right now, if you hadn't shown me the grass in minecraft, and just showed me the texture in a 3x3 layout, I don't think I would be able to tell if it's grass.

It has horrible tiling issues.

I don't really see it. Can you show me?

Quote from zamaj

I think it is a huge improvement. Is that reddish stuff stuff soil?

Thanks! Yeah, it's soil.

Done planks and bookshelves:



Starting to really like 32x. Gives me some more possibilities with my textures.

Application icons in minecraft that wouldn't look good. That would just look weird.

Nothing wrong with weird. Interesting art pieces can come from ideas you originally thought we're weird.

I remade my 512x netherrack.

I personally prefer the old one, actually. Makes me think more of molten rocks.

Quote from Deonyi

Those textures do not work well together. It looks rather jarring seeing them next to each other. Maybe try make the cobblestone a bit chunkier.

Is this any better?

@zamaj
Might be a bit late, but Fool's palette is nice. I think you should use it.

I created some more textures. Any thoughts?
Redstone, coal, gold, and iron ore, as well as mossy and cobblestone.

I cain't go back to PMC and there's a long a and stupid story why and I don't want to go into detail because I will loose my head. These WERE on PMC a long time ago. I came here to start new with some new packs and updated old ones.

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM. If you don't like it don't look at it.

How will we know if we like it if we don't view it first?

Most of us are critiquing to help you. It's not a personal attack.

I would like to join the union. I would like the Iron Tau with Iron protection. My texture pack is under development but i have made something :http://www.minecraft.../#entry27502687

You'd best work on adding depth to your textures. They're very flat

Decided to go 32x32. Finished the stone:




Made with Fish's palette

Well, here's my palette for the challenge:

Quote from Rillian

I'm in love with your grass side and stone bricks. Cobblestone, not so much. Maybe it's the two colors that conflict for me?

Quote from Seradicus

The grass should have the highlights more centered, so it looks a bit rounder. I can't see cobblestone being made from your stone, they look far too different to be the same material. I'm not sure how well scale stone works, either. The stone brick is nice, though. It could be better, but it's not bad. Maybe add some detail to the inside of the brick that pokes out?

I changed the cobble & mossy. I agree that they weren't so great.
By centering grass highlights, do you mean like this?

Quote from eleazzaar

You've got some common blocks done. IMHO you should be looking at these in Minecraft and sharing screenshots, if you really want to understand how these will look. Context is King in the visual world.

Quote from grar

I love it! I need to see this in game!

Here are some screenshots!

More work on Inkspiration
I did use your pattern, corner_g, thanks. And iiPod, I took [inspiration] from that, hence the name.

Any ideas for what I should make next?

That is great! I love it.

It would be nice to have some screenshots of your pack so we can see what it's like first.

Quote from TheRealMineStein

I didn't need that by the way, nothing good to say? Don't say it...

He's giving you criticism. They're very fair points.

I think you should make a few textures, and then show them to use. It's difficult to name a pack appropriately without knowing what it looks like first.

I've started making new textures for a new pack. Any feedback so far?
This is, on left: Grass side and dirt, grass top, stone, mossy cobblestone, & cobblestone.
On right: Mossy, cracked, and regular stone bricks.
